Few weeks/months back before the very first bitcoin price spike that lead to $10,000+ per bitcoin, I did picked interest in trading once again since the market was on a standby (no major downward or upward price movement). I needed capital so I did apply for loan on lending board (which was successful). After I have gotten my capital, I began trading, my initial target was bi-weekly trades, and my first attempt was very successful, second wasn't that great but... To cut the whole story short, I notice i tend to do quite well with borrowed capital when trading then personal capital.
For the traders here, have you tried trading with both source of capital, which is your favorite and will be your advisable source of capital based on experience?.
Trading on borrowed capital sounds difficult psychologically and might make me too risk averse. Whatever works for you though, as long as you have a way to repay the loan if you lose the principal. For some people, trading with lent capital might provide the pressure/incentive needed to avoid trading recklessly.
Maybe.
I only like trading my own capital. I've been staked by investors before (PAMM) but it's not really my thing either. My capital, my risk, my profits.
